Does this Router support DD-WRT? Thx!

No, it isn't currently supported. It is listed as "Work In Progress" so there is chance that it will work in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. You can use the following links to check other routers that are supported http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database & http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

I placed my order on January 10th 2010 and I got v2. Unfortunately, I cant install DD-WRT, but I put the latest Linksys firmware on it, and it has been working fine doing just your standard web browsing. No problems yet...

DD-WRT and OpenWRT are popular customer firmwares available for certain routers. They allow the hardware to be used in ways other than the original factory settings, sometimes resulting in greater stability, or the addition of certain features. http://www.dd-wrt.com/ https://openwrt.org/

With the stock firmware, it is just an extender. However, you can make it into a fully functional router by installing dd-wrt.

Hi. I used DD-WRT and Tomato, and they both work seamlessly with the Belkin. Tomato has less features I wasn't impressed with the GUI layout. I was able to compile some USB drivers and get additional devices working on DD WRT. I was also able to solder some internal pins to get the serial/RS232 to connect. These are great routers for the money!

I ordered on Friday and received today (09.21.09). I received a v2. I, however, want to use DD-WRT firmware on this device and as I sit here, it is working fine with default Linksys software after a couple attempts with DD-WRT (no success).

It comes with Buffalo's own DD-WRT which defeats the idea of DD-WRT. ITs not the same thing at all, for example it only lets you bridge (and certain other modes) only with OTHER BUFFALO routers. AND it wont let you install genuine DD-WRT. They frequently brick upon attempting to do so. When it comes to DD-WRT they are the least friendly in my opinion, ironic when you consider that the average person associate it with DD-WRT.

I had the DD-WRT, before I threw it away. This router is absolute crap. Don't get it. I repeat in the strongest possible terms: DON'T GET IT!

I run tomato just fine on mine. Very good router. I load tomato in two steps. (1) Load EZ-Tomato. It is a one-click install. Then go to the upgrade section in EZ and update to thefull version of tomato. I find tomato much more user friendly than dd-wrt, but of course that depends on your tastes. I also live in a large acreage area, and the way I increased therange was to rig a second N16 access point (not router). You set it up as an AP, not router. They connect via ethernet.

I recieved mine today and unfortunately I got a v2 so no dd-wrt for me. Luckily I sold it to a friend that doesnt want to use dd-wrt.

The bad news is that there is a problem with DHCP on this router, requiring frequent power cycling. The good news is that the opensource dd-wrt firmware completely solves this problem, and adds a bunch of new features to the router. You won't need to, but with the dd-wrt firmware installed you could configure the router to auto-reboot. For more info, see my review:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1GNF11WAIUPJS/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

Yes. This is supported by dd-wrt. You can type in "asus" here and see that this model is fully supported. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-databaseAlso, security is the best reason to use dd-wrt on any router you can. If you've listened to the tech news lately you know that home routers firmware tend to be full of bugs that aren't always fixed and home routers are becoming a major attack vector. It isn't worth it for most manufacturers to continue to update their older routers firmware b/c they want you to purchase new one. So yes, it is supported and, yes it is important. :) Yes.

The stock firmware did have a bridge mode, and if you google "bridge mode on asus rt-n16" the first link shows you how to set it up. However I would firmly recomend DD-WRT if you feel up to the task of installing it.
